Geocache Description:


One of the least known state parks in the area; Ashmere Lake State Park has a 203-acre artificial lake with a public access boat ramp. The lake, dam and 3 islands became property of state in 1979.  There are 15 private cottages on state land, by permit.
 

The cache is on the island in the south section of Ashmere Lake.  The island is separated from the mainland by a marshy area with a shallow stream. 
The best way to get to the island is by boat but it is possible to get there by foot (at least when conditions are right) hence the 4.5 terrain rating instead of a 5.  I was able get across by foot but you may get wet if you go that way.
Believe it or not, stealth may be required at certain times of the year because there are private cottages on the island and it is a small island.  The land is public but the cottages are private so please do not go near them.
